congrats on the new release.
is there any improvement to the major problem that it's entirely useless and opaque without javascript?
I'd very much welcome the ability to see title, summary, maybe even a thumbnail, to decide whether or not to download it (with e.g. youtube-dl, that used to be able to download peertube videos, but not any more)

The first time I visited a PeerTube site I was amazed at how many idiots, bigots and bad actors seemed to be having a jolly good time.

It was not a community I wanted to join or ever be federated in a broader community with.

Have you done anything to help address this problem?

I know Mastodon's tools for this aren't perfect... but Mastodon actually has tools. My understanding was that PeerTube was ignoring the problem.

Look, from my perspective as someone who hosts a peertube instance, friendica, and more such instances, the users should not be blaming the admin and see him/her as their parents. You, as a user, have a great set of tools, same as us the admins. Take our Peertube instances videos.trom.tf - I do moderate it to only accept educational/science/nature/activism videos in English, and I only promote the content I think is relevant (trending, popular, recently added) from other instances + I use a local search and also a global one. So if you use our instance unless you search for crappy content, you will get decent content.

If you find bad content simply ignore it. Youtube is also full of crap, but users understood how to push it aside and follow what they want to see.

So yes, both the admins and the users have a great set of tools for Peertube at their disposal.

No but it is like the party hosts are telling you with whom you are allowed to talk on the phone. Since those "assholes" in the fediverse are not getting "inside" the house where you party. I have an open friendica instance for anyone who wants to join. I use the fediverse for more than a year now and use it daily. I got annoyed by a few and quickly blocked them. Done. Easy. But if the admin has to deal with everything people like and dislike, it becomes a complete mess.
